I agree that setting up "local" connectivity between the folks in my neighborhood wouldn't be too much of a challenge. Getting anything much beyond that up and running would be a stretch.
I can't help noticing some irony in seeing one nanog thread about working around a supposed government internet kill switch by using wireless transmission kit, and another about the US Navy reputedly trashing connectivity in an entire country by, uh, jamming wireless transmission links.
Irony != coincidence. One is the government interrupting communications, and the other one is ... the government interrupting communications. Oh look: those even came out in the same character positions. :-) Cheers, -- jra
